[QUOTE="MollieB, post: 2239188, member: 519175"] I have been seeing this and find it interesting. The US has diabetics in high risk and it also doesn't differentiate. The American Diabetes Association says that there isn't enough data to say that diabetics are any more at risk than the general population for GETTING the virus but, if they do get it, the "data" shows that diabetics are at higher risk of serious complications and/or death. Another thing I read somewhere else said that diabetics with underlying complications, such as cardiovascular disease, may be more susceptible or diabetics that are poorly controlled. There is no concrete evidence of this specific to coronavirus but, (if I remember this correctly) it has something to do with how the complications or poorly controlled glucose impact the immune system.
